Leeds booked their place in the fourth round with last month’s 1-0 win at home to League Two neighbours Harrogate Town whilst Millwall eased to a 3-0 victory against National League visitors Dagenham & Redbridge. Four weeks on, Championship rivals Leeds and Millwall will face off in a Saturday lunchtime 12.15pm kick-off at Elland Road for a place in the competition’s last 16. There are, though, now seven players out of the weekend contest following fresh team news updates – but an attacker is returning. Here, we run through the injury news from both sides.

5. Aidomo Emakhu (out)
Millwall's Republic of Ireland under-21s forward Emakhu remains out as he recovers from the groin injury suffered in Boxing Day's 2-1 defeat at Norwich City but was said this week to be a couple of days away from potentially returning to training. Photo: Bryn Lennon
6. Josh Coburn (out)
Millwall's Boro loanee striker Coburn suffered a broken metatarsal in November's 1-1 draw at Oxford United which was expected to keep him out for around two months. The 22-year-old has yet to return although boss Neil hopes the forward will start to make his way back in the next seven to fourteen days. Photo: Adam Davy
